child minder costs &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp 16/04/2015 16:01 - Introduce Yourself (Locality: Meath) -----------------------------------hi, I would like some advice please. My child is currently in preschool but will be startng primary school in September. I have just been given the after school care costs per month which are €670 pm. I think this is quite expensive. He will be dropped off at about 7.15am and collected at 5pm. Do you know if there is much difference in price if I was to use a qualified childminder.? Thanks a mill.
